- YPF Luz: electricity for business customers
YPF Luz offers thermal and renewable generation through term contracts. Industrial customers use electricity in production; supply combines generating assets with commercial commitments. This is a distinct activity within YPF’s energy relationships: electricity sales require management of availability and delivery alongside oil and gas development.

Its place in YPF
YPF operates across the hydrocarbon chain: producing oil and gas, processing raw materials and marketing products. This integration connects businesses with different economics: crude prices, refining costs and fuel demand affect each stage differently.

Customers, operations & revenue
YPF turns underground resources into products for transport, households and industry. Extraction requires wells and infrastructure; refineries convert crude into fuels and other derivatives. Marketing connects output with distributors and consumers. Transfers between group businesses should be distinguished from external sales.
What shapes business performance
Production, realised prices and extraction costs explain upstream performance; utilisation and refining margins explain processing. Sustaining output requires investment, so EBITDA and free cash flow differ. Transport capacity, fuel demand, exchange rates and project schedules also matter.
